Intense, delicious, bright, and refreshing flavors. Family friendly atmosphere with great service. The food they serve makes it very hard to dine out anywhere else. Love it!

My first exposure to Ethiopian food made me wanting to come back again SOON! I was really surprised at the quality of food for the price. I tried to get the most authentic dish and after I felt full and relaxed. The owner let me chat him up about the culture and he shared some amazing insights into his culture and our American ones. I really can't recommend this more highly. The name of the restaurant is accurate -- try it!

We don’t have Ethiopian food In Salem so whenever I get the chance to get Ethiopian or African food, I will jump to it. This place is cozy and comfortable inside. I would definitely come back to eat in. However, I was on the go and decided to order takeout. It was delicious. I ordered the Combo plate that easily fed two of us and also had leftovers for the morning. The injera was so good, as was all the flavors. Five stars!

Food was authentic and delicious! Only thing I would recommend is some music, it a bit awkward being in a silent restaurant.

I’ve been 4 or 5 times now. I had a close friend who was Ethiopian (miss you) and he cooked for us regularly. I’ve always thought home cooked > Bete Lukas > other spots.Try me is as good or better than Bete, albeit with a smaller menu.The Siga Wat is my favorite followed closely by Siga tibs. I have a 5yo who is willing to eat the vegetarian; potatoes, carrots, onions cooked soft in a “buttery” sauce (no idea). I love it too.I always order extra injera, but end up not needing it. Just read they’ve added lamb to the menu, gonna order it tonight.

A small place in a strip mall with big flavor. We tried two dishes and they were both outstanding. There was a bit of heat in the dishes but nothing I couldn't handle. I would go again for sure!
Love this place! Super friendly, great food and music.

We had an incredible meal; the service was friendly and quick, the price was a good value, and the food was delicious. I highly recommend the doro tibs and vegetable sampler - more than enough great food for two hungry travelers.

Awesome vegan options. Love this place.Vegetarian options: Recommend the veggie combo meal (which is also vegan!)Dietary restrictions: Vegan friendly
Unassuming exterior ( I mean, Gresham strip mall eh) with thoughtfully prepared food that tastes like it was prepared with care for friends or family. Try the lamb if you're a carnivore. The chef makes you feel welcomed and treats you like guests in their home (a cozy home that someone takes deserved pride in and enjoys the ambiance of, which is passed onto guests)

This place feels like a cozy family resturant. The fragrance of the spices floats in the air that hints at whats to come. The food is served in Authentic Ethiopian style on injera (an Ethiopian Bread that's used as plate and utensils) with the Beef Combo featuring the Siga Tibs and Siga Wat. The food was filled with flavor and felt like a home cooked meal. We'll be back with friends
